The Phantom Plan: Such As Art, Fine Print 3D Prosthesis

3D printing technology and prosthesis manufacturing seems to have an indissoluble bound, shortly before the 3D print online has reported the phantom limb (Phatom Limb) plan, in the program, the famous game company, the United States ("alloy equipment" game manufacturer) is a young British game player 3D print a futuristic the meaning of hand.

According to 3D print online understanding of phantom limb project was founded by designer Sophie Oliveira Barata, she will 3D printing technology and art design together, creating a lot of prosthetics is art exquisite beyond compare. Her clients include Paralympic athletes, musicians, model.

Amazing Designer

Over the years, Sophie Oliveira Barata for art has a keen interest in her, so the prosthesis for the design art work is full of passion. It is understood that every morning she appeared in 7:30 studio, has been busy until 4 p.m.. Sometimes work until 3 in the morning, so sometimes colleagues even thought she was just early, and did not know she is working through the night. It is because of this passion, plus countless night work, exquisite works of art like prosthetics only born.

The combination of art and technology road

Causes of art design prosthetics, Sophie explained: "it all comes from a little girl, she come here every year to replace new legs. She hopes the leg to be different, even more pattern. From a certain extent, the little girl if you can get a fine leg, she will be very happy, because this is her friend didn't have."

Sophie believes that although physical disability is an unfortunate thing, but if you can let the disabled by prosthesis is out of the ordinary, even glamorous, will bring them more comfort. In view of this, she embarked on the road of art design prosthetics.

Why choose 3D print

According to Sophie, she chose 3D printing technology to produce prostheses, mainly because the 3D printing technology to produce complex shaped objects. At the same time, 3D design model also allows the wearer to see it in before the completion of prosthetic limbs. Designers can design a software to modify or adjust the design. According to 3D print online understanding towards the main part of the use of nylon material printing Sophie design, by bolt parts assembled together.

The following is some of her designs:
